The Coronado Philharmonia Orchestra is delighted to announce a special Valentine’s Day concert featuring internationally acclaimed cellist Paul Tseng as guest soloist. This romantic evening, Mon Valentin, takes place on February 14, and promises an unforgettable celebration of passion, elegance, and musical artistry.
Tseng will perform two beloved masterpieces of the cello repertoire: Saint-Saëns’ Cello Concerto No. 1, a work of dazzling virtuosity and emotional intensity, and Fauré’s Élégie, a deeply expressive meditation on longing and beauty. Together, these works offer a program rich in lyricism and romantic depth — perfect for an evening devoted to love and music.
An internationally recognized artist, Paul Tseng has appeared in prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall and the Cairo Royal Opera House. A prize-winning chamber musician, he is a member of the acclaimed Delphian Trio and holds degrees from The Juilliard School and the Peabody Conservatory. Tseng also serves as Artistic Director of the San Diego Music Society, where he continues to champion innovative and inspiring musical experiences.
Audiences are invited to join the Coronado Philharmonia Orchestra for this enchanting Valentine’s Day performance — an evening where romance meets artistry in one of San Diego’s most intimate concert settings.
